Fair to assume DCM?

– 5 year old FS Great Dane presented for ADR, weight loss and increased resp. rate and tachyardia

– chest rads consistent with pulmonary edema

– my ultrasound machine is down and away for repair in the US so had to use an old machine I have with no cardiac package (no m-mode, no Doppler, abdominal probe only) Could only save images with iPhone

– Alive Cor ECG did not show any obvious arrhymias other than tachycardia

– looking at this clip, is it safe to assume this pet has DCM or at least a DCM-like presentation?

– I am seeing left and right sided atrial enlargement, subjective poor contactility and likely increased EPSS

– the pet also has mild ascites and enlarged CVC; we have started cardiac meds
